I'll Catch You Daddy

Dear Michael:

One of your favorite playground activities is to climb up on some piece of equipment and then jump off into the waiting arms of a parent.

Yesterday after jumping off the toddler rock wall into my arms, you strongly suggested in your typically two year old way that I climb up the wall. Then with my feet dangling down inches from the ground you held out your arms and instructed me to jump.

In the end, you held on to a pant leg as I scooted off the rock wall. Then it was your turn to climb and jump. We took turns doing this for a couple minutes before you ran off to other activities.

The whole scene would have been an improbable Hollywood contrivance in a movie script but in real life, it was a lot of fun.

Thanks.

Love Dad
